Elsewhere, 23-year-old Amber Tamblyn netted the best actress prize as the lead in 'Stephanie Daley'; not the least of her achievements was passing as a
character almost a decade younger than herself. In fact Hilary Brougher's
brittle, thorny character piece is more or less a two-hander: schoolgirl
Stephanie is being prosecuted for the murder of a baby she insists she didn't
know she was carrying; Tilda Swinton is the court-appointed psychologist who
interviews her. Shot in snowy, small-town New York state, it's bracingly
ambiguous with an eye for teenage peer pressure and insidious religiosity,
strongly anchored in those two lead performances.
